"Man lives in the world and doesn't want much, not only people, but all things are the same. I once thought deeply about the way of existence of all things in the world, and I also read ancient books to follow the theories of sages. Finally, I found an extremely simple truth, and all things in the world follow this truth. One is to survive, the other is to reproduce..."

When the breeze was gentle, an old man spoke slowly in an octagonal pavilion, and his voice slowly spread into the ears of everyone in the pavilion.

"Is that simple? The two words summarize everything?"

Someone in the pavilion seemed puzzled, and raised doubts with confusion. He seemed to have some arrogance and disdain in his tone. He suddenly snorted and added: "I heard that you were once a great scholar who was famous all over the world, and he was known as the leader of the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty. But why do students think you are talking big? Your remarks do not seem to be worthy of the title of great scholar..."

This is a young man with the unique impetus of young people. The doubts he raised were very sharp, and he obviously did not fear the reputation of a great scholar.

"Hahahaha!"

The old man in the pavilion smiled leisurely, looked at the young man and asked lightly: "So tell me, where did I talk big?"

The young man said loudly, "I've gone too much, and every sentence is boasting. For example, the way you just said, "I feel like fooling people when I hear it. Everything in the world is so mysterious. Every kind has the depth of hard to follow. But you casually summarize it and say that everything in the world only follows two principles. Hum, survival and reproduction. I admit that these two points are indeed very important, but if you say that everything in the world only follows these two points, then I will feel a little dissatisfied..."

The young man stopped and suddenly spoke again, "For example, I would like to give an example, I hope you can answer the question of "Wang Daru". Today, Bohai City was surging, Hejian County Prince was dispatched, Zongzheng Temple Minister was dispatched, and there was the second rebellion of King Zhai Rang of the former Sui world, plus the saint of the Turkic grassland, and the emperor and the empress went out at the same time, and even the Supreme Emperor stepped out of the door. There was only one thing, that is, to help the Lord of Bohai to propose marriage. There are so many people and such a large formation that attracts the attention of the whole city, and it will soon be passed on the world. Wang Daru, you should tell me about this matter. Can this matter be summarized simply by "survival and reproduction"? If you say you can summarize it, then I really want to ask, "Bohai Kingdom's proposal is so huge, should you classify this matter as survival or reproduction?"

This young man is obviously a knowledgeable person, and his personality is rigorous in his character, so even when he faces a great scholar who once became famous all over the world, he dares to ask for his doubts proudly.

"Hahahaha!"

The old man in the pavilion smiled faintly again.

The old man looked with appreciation and seemed to approve of the young man's impulse, but he spoke leisurely and said calmly: "As I said, all things in the world only follow two principles: survival and reproduction. No matter how complicated the world is, it can be attributed to this after peeling off the cocoon. The same is true for the Lord of the Bohai Kingdom to propose marriage. You can attribute it to survival or reproduction. That's all, it's extremely simple."

The young man was stunned for a moment and suddenly said furiously: "You are a quibbling, you have not made any comments at all. If the great scholar Wang Tong is such a person, then I hope you can stay overseas and not come back, so as not to rely on your reputation and make your father and others respect you."

"Damn it!"

A sudden shouting sounded in the pavilion. The person who scolded him turned out to be Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. But when he saw that the old house was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion to listen to the lecture, he suddenly stood up and slapped him hard. With a crisp sound, the young man's cheeks swollen and tall.

After the old house beat the man, he was still dissatisfied and said angrily: "I haven't knelt down yet and apologized to your master. Mr. Wen Zhongzi is a great wise man of his generation. Even when he was a father, he had listened to him. What he learned was very simple and spent his whole life. You, a child of yellow mouth, dare you question, do you know what respect for knowledge means?"

The old house became more and more angry as he spoke, and there seemed to be signs of attacking, which could make the prime minister of the dynasty so angry. It can be seen how high the great scholar Wang Tong was in his heart. Fortunately, a few people stood up in the pavilion and hurriedly stopped the old house and said, "Don't fight Fang Qiao, your child is already good. If you can debate with Mr. Wen Zhongzi, the younger generation is also considered a talent."

These dissuasion people are quite identifiable. They are all big bosses in the court, such as Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and Yu Shinan, Du Ruhui, Li Ji, and Zhang Xuansu, covering civil officials and military commanders, all of which are famous.

With so many people gathered in the pavilion, the old house seemed to be even more ashamed and said in disappointment: "I have no choice but to teach my children, so I'll make you laugh at me."

As he said that, he glared at the young man, "I'm not hurriedly apologizing!"

"I'm not convinced!"

The young man had a swollen face for half a year, but his eyes were filled with indignation and said furiously: "Why should he apologize? Is he accused of his reputation as a great scholar? If it were two years ago, the child might have admitted his mistakes. But now, I have been studying in the academy for two years. The dean always teaches us not to give up asking for confusion for authority. Even if it is an ancient sage in front of him, if there is any unclearity in his heart, you can question it. Is Wang Daru comparable to the ancient sages? Father, why don't you allow the child to question it? I don't agree, I just don't agree..."

Fang Xuanling was stunned and his beard was so angry that he raised his beard.

He reached out and wanted to hit someone again, but was pulled by Li Jing next to him. However, seeing the Tang Dynasty military god's face was solemn, he said in a deep voice: "The child even reported his name as the dean. If Prime Minister Fang takes action again, it would be a bit inappropriate."

The old house was slightly stunned, then his eyes flashed, and he said helplessly: "Master of Bohai, he..."

The young man proudly raised his chest and shouted: "Our dean never oppresses students by reputation and status. Sometimes he will apologize to us if he makes mistakes in teaching. He is the best in the world, his martial arts, his top ten in the world, his military management, his highest level in the contemporary era, and his governance, he loves the people as much as his son. Such a vassal lord, who is almost at the top of his reputation and status, still allows us to question his mistakes. The child thinks that this is the real sage."

As he said that, he turned his eyes to the old man in the pavilion, and said in a rushing tone: "As for you, the former scholar of the literary school, you can't even answer a question for the younger generation. You can only rely on your identity to force a sophistry. I am very dissatisfied with my heart. How can all things in the world simply summarize it with survival and reproduction..."

Obviously he was still questioning, even glaring at him regardless of the old house.

"Hahahaha!"

The old man in the pavilion smiled leisurely for the third time, as if he was not angry with a younger generation's confrontation, but instead nodded and praised: "It's not bad, it's a good boy. You child seems to be disrespectful, but in fact you stick to your nature of seeking knowledge. This is the best nature of learning. I want to praise your rigor..."

The old man was calm and calm. Suddenly, he looked at the people in the pavilion, and smiled and said: "Where does knowledge come from? Knowledge comes from doubt. Fang Qiao's son is so kind that I asserted that his future achievements will definitely be good."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly bowed and said with shame: "It makes Master Wen laugh."

But the young man snorted quietly and muttered, "What is this rigorous thing about me? There are many more classmates than me who are stubborn."

The old man suddenly smiled at him and said leisurely: "Questions are a good thing, but the premise of doubt requires ability. People's knowledge is divided into levels and they cannot see through some truths unless they have a certain height. For example, what I said about survival and reproduction is just a simple sophistry in your opinion, but if the dean you mentioned here, I am afraid he has begun to talk to me about the depth of survival and reproduction."

The young man was stunned and said a little confused: "What do you mean is that the dean will believe in your plan?"

The old man slowly looked out the pavilion and said as if he was pointing out: "If he is truly a genius in the legend, he should know that the only truth in this world is this. All things, beasts or people live in a lifetime, only four words: one is survival, and the other is reproduction..."

This actually feels extremely domineering, and it seems that no matter how others question it, they must stick to his theory.

The young man looked a little thoughtful, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Then I am still the same question as before. How do you explain today's proposal with survival and reproduction? My dean... Isn't right? The Bohai Kingdom Lord has made great achievements. Is his wedding just for survival and reproduction? Reproduction can be more reliable, and survival is completely incompatible. The king is almost invincible in the world, and he doesn't need to consider the issue of survival at all."

The old man seemed tired and smiled and didn't explain to him again.

The young man waited for a long time without a reply, but finally he could only salute respectfully, then salute to the people in the pavilion one by one, and finally shook his sleeves and left with great pride.

Obviously, he was still dissatisfied.

Everyone in the pavilion watched him leave angrily, and suddenly a cramped chuckled from his mouth. Du Ruhui stroked his long beard and returned to his original place, and commented: "Fang Qiao's child is very good. Unfortunately, he is still too young. He has learned a little, but he has not yet entered the house. The child of his age has been in a short life and does not understand the principles of the world. It seems complicated and actually simple. The way of survival and reproduction summarized by the literary master is unaware of the child for the time being."

Fang Xuanling bowed helplessly and smiled bitterly: "There is no way to teach children, but there is no way to teach children."

Li Ji's eyes flashed a few times and suddenly asked the old man in the pavilion: "Master Wen has returned from overseas, but he has the intention to open the door again? Now the Bohai Kingdom Lord has built a college in the city and is about to expand the scale of recruiting students. Why don't Master Wen take charge of himself? It is also easier to educate students all over the world to listen to the knowledge."

These words were faintly tentative. The officials present frowned slightly, as if they were angry with Li Ji's test. Yu Shinan even snorted coldly.

On the contrary, the great Confucian Wang Tong smiled faintly, and for some reason he nodded slowly and said, "Good."

Li Ji's eyes flashed again.

But the old man Wang Tong suddenly reached into his arms, took out a small pocket from his arms, and said, "Survival and reproduction will be my lifelong theory. In order to promote this study, I also want to ask the Lord of Bohai to help others. People seek favors from others. When there are generous gifts, I happened to find some treasures when I was pouring overseas, which can be given to the Lord of Bohai as a reward."

The big guys present quickly looked at their little pockets.

But seeing Wang Tong's wrist tremble, when many things poured out from his pocket, they fell on the ground and rolled on the ground. Wang Tong's tone was very plain and said leisurely: "There are four types of high-yield grains, and there are three types of ground-planted grains. If the people work hard, they can raise one person per mu. I have been listening to you these days that the Bohai Kingdom's lord loves the people as much as his son. I think this young prince will like this gift."

"It turns out to be a high-yield grain plant?"

"Can acre of land support a person?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood up almost at the same time. Because they were too excited, Du Ruhui even coughed a few times. Although his face turned red and lost blood immediately, Du Ruhui did not care about his physical illness.

In addition to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Li Ji and others were also shocked. Everyone present seemed to have never questioned Wang Tonghui's lying, and just heard the old man believe his grain.

High-yield food?

Can one acre of land support a person?

This cannot be regarded as food, it is a foreign land of immortals. You should know that although the ancient Tang Dynasty was established by agriculture, the land output was not too much limited to the times. For example, the Tianzi Water-Shuijitian, a generation of Chang'an, which was close to the Wei River, was already one of the best land in the country. However, one acre of land can only produce two or three stones of grain a year, and at least five acres of land can support an adult and strong man.

This is still a water-watered field with a size of Tianzi. If it is ordinary land, the output is even worse. For example, the Ministry of Revenue in the Tang Dynasty once recorded in the Ministry of Revenue, and the land department records the following: the land in the world is poor and the people work hard, but if they produce half a stone or one stone a year, a living person can eat one 15 acres of land. Even so, there are some suggestions that the people's permanent land should exceed this number. A man will give 20 acres of land forever.

"This grain, this grain..."

Du Ruhui coughed repeatedly and suddenly bent down and lay on the ground. Poor Old Man Du is also a person in his fifties, but at this moment he is as happy as a child. He ignored the prime minister's honor and lay on the ground with his butt sticking out his butt, and his hands are constantly scratching on the ground, fearing that he would let go of any grain.

Finally all the food was put away by him, and Old Man Du suddenly burst out laughing happily. Because he was too excited, he began to cough loudly again.

Everyone present was afraid that something would happen to him, so they rushed forward to support him. Li Ji gently patted Du Ruhui's back with his hands and said earnestly: "Du Xiangruo has free time, so why not go home for a walk. I once obtained a good prescription during the march that year, which is very helpful for body conditioning. You come to my house for a while and I will help you make that medicine soup."

Du Ruhui waved his hand gasping and said, "No need, this problem cannot be cured. While it is not time to die, I have to do more things. Regulating my body will only waste time. I don't want to waste this time. People die. They should fight for some time to do things for the people. After all, I am the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty..."

Li Ji and others looked dim.

At this moment, I suddenly saw the old man Wang Tong leaning into his arms again, but this time he took out a small exquisite bottle and said slowly: "Keming is my disciple, how can you see your death? I have obtained a magic medicine overseas, but I can restrain many diseases. Whenever there is a huge pain, I might as well take this dose, and the pain will disappear immediately, and my body will be as smooth as a flying fairy."

Everyone was immediately surprised and couldn't help but look over.

Wang Tongshun threw the bottle away, and Li Ji quickly helped Du Ruhui catch it.

Wang Tong suddenly stood up from his seat, looked outside slowly, and said, "Today's storm is also inspiring. A king proposed marriage and dispatched the emperor and empress, and even Li Yuan wanted to kiss him, which surprised me a little..."

He stopped and then said: "I was teaching in Taiyuan back then and had a close relationship with Li Yuan. Today he went to pick up a marriage proposal for his grandson. I heard that the maid named A Yao's mother was weak. I wanted to watch the ceremony as a great scholar, so I could help the girl to increase her face. Do you think so?"

The people present were slightly stunned, and then they looked a little surprised.

Even though Fang Xuanling is now the chief minister of the court and is even in his fifties, he still looked excited after hearing this and said hurriedly: "If Master Wen can go, it is a great scholar who came to cheer. I think the Supreme Emperor will definitely be extremely happy, and that Miss Ayao will be glorious."

Wang Tong shook his sleeves and said leisurely: "Since that's the case, I will leave. If all the students have the intention, they can also watch the ceremony with me."

As he said that, he stopped, looked at the small bottle that Li Ji had caught, and said, "You can also give me a magical medicine gift. I am going to congratulate the girl A Yao for having all her hardships..."

Yu Shinan was the first to walk out of the pavilion to help him lead the way.

In the blink of an eye, a group of tycoons led Wang Tong away, and they couldn't help but talk about the past and the present along the way, as if a group of great scholars were traveling around the world.

After everyone left, the young man suddenly appeared again.

At this moment, I suddenly saw the old man Wang Tong leaning into his arms again, but this time he took out a small exquisite bottle and said slowly: "Keming is my disciple, how can you see your death? I have obtained a magic medicine overseas, but I can restrain many diseases. Whenever there is a huge pain, I might as well take this dose, and the pain will disappear immediately, and my body will be as smooth as a flying fairy."

Everyone was immediately surprised and couldn't help but look over.

Wang Tongshun threw the bottle away, and Li Ji quickly helped Du Ruhui catch it.

Wang Tong suddenly stood up from his seat, looked outside slowly, and said, "Today's storm is also inspiring. A king proposed marriage and dispatched the emperor and empress, and even Li Yuan wanted to kiss him, which surprised me a little..."

He stopped and then said: "I was teaching in Taiyuan back then and had a close relationship with Li Yuan. Today he went to pick up a marriage proposal for his grandson. I heard that the maid named A Yao's mother was weak. I wanted to watch the ceremony as a great scholar, so I could help the girl to increase her face. Do you think so?"

The people present were slightly stunned, and then they looked a little surprised.

The people present were slightly stunned, and then there was a little surprise on their faces.
